Well, get out of bed and go to church today!

Fellowshipping, or going to church shouldn’t be a religious activity. It is a discipline, an act of obedience and part of our DNA as Christians. We are part of His Body. In the natural, your hand is with you everywhere you go, even if you don’t need it at the time. Imagine if your hand decided to tell you, “I don’t feel like going with you today.” Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? However, we do that all the time. For instance, one might say, “I don’t feel like going to church today,” and then we end up not going to church based on a feeling. Yet, you are part of the body, and the body needs you. One doesn’t go to church simply to sit in a pew. As part of the church family, you have abilities and gifts that God gave you to share with the new ones that are coming in with greater needs. You don’t go simply to get “blessed.” God made you to be a blessing to others, so get out of bed and go to church today, or better yet, be the church today 🙂

Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Where is the wise leadership?

Never before in my lifetime have I seen the a greater need for wise leadership in our nation. It is so vital to see that without wise leadership, an entire nation can fall. Wise leadership is vital in all areas of societal structures, including community, education, government, family, entertainment, religion and sports. In the first part of Psalms 111:10, the Psalmist declared: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…..”

Proverbs 11:14 reveals that there is safety in the multitude of advisors or counselors. Pride will tell you that you do not need anyone, and that you can succeed all on your own. That is foolish. All success is really a team effort. We need to, once again, appreciate and honor wise leadership. We must also strive to be wise leaders. In this way, our families, our communities and our nation will rejoice!

Proverbs 11:14 – Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
